[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2497901, member: 196898"] Actually the supplement in this discussion did get some safety tests. They fed a large dose to some rats for 3 weeks, and found no significant deterioration. However, this supplement is often 'prescribed' in ayurvedic medicine in doses of between 1 gm and 3 gm per day, and there are reports that this dose raises serum sodium levels and can cause the kidneys to shut down. A high sodium level can also trigger heart arrythmia and is a serious condition that can lead to strokes. So moderation should be the watchword, and ignore the report I found that claims that it is completely safe at any dose. [/QUOTE]
